Natural disasters, instability in the finance and banking sector,
widespread social protests, and other crisis situations have
increasingly become the focus of public attention. With the growing
visibility of such events, accelerated by the rise and
proliferation of social media, the study of risk and crisis
management in the Internet age is of vital importance.Uncertainty
and Catastrophe Management is a clear and comprehensive guide to a
variety of crises, and seeks to offer practical advice on how best
to avoid them, minimize loss and damage once they have occurred,
and how best to recover from these situations. The book examines
104 cases that run the gamut from natural disasters such as the
2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, to social movements like the
Ukrainian protests in 2013, from the Syrian Electronic Army's
cyber-attacks, to the reputational damage to firms in the wake of a
corporate scandal.This book is a revised and expanded edition of
Akira Ishikawa and Atsushi Tsujimoto's book, Risk and Crisis
Management: 101 Cases, and explores a number of recent events. It
draws on the expertise of the contributors to the volume to create
a well-rounded book that will benefit professionals, academics, and
the general public alike. In particular, safety professionals,
public management professionals, CEOs, CIOs, students and
researchers will appreciate its pragmatic approach to dealing with
and recovering from crises in the interest of long-term survival
and sustainability.
Corporate Strategy for Dramatic Productivity Surge deals with the
very basics of productivity and cost performance - including
abridgement of time, increase in speed, enhancement of
capabilities, increase in sensitivity and precision, enhancement of
efficiency and effectiveness, alteration of size, reduction of
costs and increase in revenue, among others.This book consists of
five parts - Introduction, Case Studies of Super Effects in
Management Functions, Case Studies of Global Scale Super Effects
Realized, Case Studies of Super Effects in Marketing Domains, and
Conclusion: The Road to Realizing the Super Effect - featuring more
than fifty successful cases of productivity surge or super effects,
including risk-driven ones. Productivity surge herein means a
dramatic reduction of costs, at least by one-tenth, while
maintaining effectiveness or discontinuous increase in
effectiveness by at least 10 times, while keeping the costs the
same.Cases highlighted in the book are instrumental and valuable
for the organizations worldwide to evaluate processes, avoid
unnecessary failure and work towards future success.
This book discusses the essence, concepts, techniques, and
applications of business intelligence. It also explores different
aspects of crisis management, knowledge management and knowledge
sciences, the applications of business intelligence in
contingencies and crises, environmental issues and group
intelligence.The book is divided into three parts. The first part
focuses on the significance of business intelligence, competition
and intelligence, competitive information strategy, conflicts on
patent issues, and the current state-of-the-art of business
intelligence education in the US and France. The second part
encompasses business intelligence and risk and crisis management,
ecological issues and crisis management, business intelligence and
knowledge management, and business intelligence as an
organizational knowledge. The third part consists of case studies
in business intelligence with special reference to the retail
industry and the military arena. This part also focuses on
applications of business intelligence.Finally, the book also
envisages the future direction of knowledge information strategy.
It will be of interest to students, academicians and people working
in non-profit or non-government organizations.
Natural disasters, terrorist attacks, financial collapses, and
other crisis situations have occupied public attention to an
unprecedented degree in recent years. In the face of these events,
the study of risk and crisis management is becoming more important
than ever before. This book is a clear and comprehensive guide to
the most common emergency situations of our day, giving succinct,
practical advice on how best to avoid them if possible, how to
minimize loss and damage once they have occurred, and how best to
recover sustainably. The 101 cases presented here cover both
natural and man-made disasters, drawing on recent and current case
histories to propose workable solutions for governments,
corporations and ordinary people facing extraordinary times.This
revised and expanded edition of the authors' 1999 book, Survival -
Simulation of Risk and Crisis Management 69, is written in an
accessible style and contains the latest research in the field. It
will benefit laypeople, professionals, and academics alike. In
particular, safety professionals, public management professionals,
CEOs, CIOs, tertiary students and researchers will appreciate its
pragmatic, vigilant approach to dealing with and recovering from
natural and man-made disasters in the interest of long-term
survival and sustainability.
When analyzing 7-Eleven Japan's advanced and innovative management
style, the authors of this book highlight the existence of the
"integrated information system". This is because of the key role it
plays not only in forming this firm's corporate strategy but also
in developing its functional strategies for logistic support,
merchandising and store operations. The authors explore the
integrated information system, a symbol of the competitiveness of
7-Eleven Japan.
Fuzzy knowledge and fuzzy systems affect our lives today as systems
enter the world of commerce. Fuzzy systems are incorporated in
domestic appliances (washing machine, air conditioning, microwave,
telephone) and in transport systems (a pilotless helicopter has
recently completed a test flight). Future applications are expected
to have dramatic implications for the demand for labor, among other
things. It was with such thoughts in mind that this first
international survey of future applications of fuzzy logic has been
undertaken. The results are likely to be predictive for a decade
beyond the millenium. The predictive element is combined with a
bibliography which serves as an historical anchor as well as being
both extensive and extremely useful. Analysis and Evaluation of
Fuzzy Systems is thus a milestone in the development of fuzzy logic
and applications of three representative subsystems: Fuzzy Control,
Fuzzy Pattern Recognition and Fuzzy Communications.

The development of computer technology, particularly the work of
the Fifth Generation Computer Project of Japan, will have
far-reaching international implications. The author explores the
uses of the new generation computer and information systems now
under development in Japan by identifying their application,
assessing their impact on society, and envisioning the transition
to the future.
